abstract = "The most essential theoretical and experimental works related to the propagation of weak shock waves, i.e. sawtooth waves, N-waves and single shock pulses, in fluid-filled tubes are critically reviewed and simple theoretical expressions comprising shock front losses as well as wall
losses are derived for weak shock propagation in fluid-filled, rigid-walled tubes. Pressure-time courses of electrodynamically generated weak shock waves propagating axially along a liquidfilled, thick-walled steel tube are measured, showing a fair agreement with the simple theory in the maximum
peak pressure range below 5\textperiodcentered106 N/m2. Irregular pressure decays are found at distances from the sound source decreasing with increasing initial source pressure for all liquids investigated. The cause of these irregularities together with the possible influence
of acoustical streaming and bulk viscosity effects are discussed.",
